I would have to say undecided as well, mainly because I don't know the differences in the sects. Could someone explain?

I'm new to this all, however I am by far most drawn to Mahayana Buddhism. It feels like I'm opening a door to what I thought was a closet, and actually finding a beautiful garden that I always knew was there but could never actually see before.

Just wanted to post as an update, I have recently moved to Zen Buddhism, rather than Theravada as I had previously stated. Quite a change, yes, but after doing some research, I feel I am more happy in this school of thought. =] I was even non-sectarian a bit, but I ended up temporarily losing my way. =[

I myself lean towards Mahayana Buddhism, because I believe everyone can reach Enlightenment. I don't think we need leaders to help us, we need to help ourselves for some things.

I'm not Buddhist, but a lot of my spiritual practices are influenced or coincides with Buddhist thought.
None-the-less, I'm still interested in the different forms of Buddhism and anything new I could learn about it, even though I don't believe enlightenment comes from following just one strict cut tradition.
